Twilight debuts at midnight Blockbuster party

It’s a following that rivals the muggle fanbase of Harry Potter. Take an average teen romance, mix in some sepia tones and a glacially handsome vampire, and you’ve got Twilight, an international book and film sensation.

The movie, which opened in November, is finally coming to a store near you. The Blockbuster at 588 Sawdust Road in Spring will host the film’s DVD midnight debut party from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight with Houston radio station 104.1 KRBE on site spinning music and handing out prizes.

The first 25 customers will receive a free mini poster of Edward, the main vampire who steams up the screen and makes undead look good.

Not into posters? If you donated a pint of blood between March 16 and midnight tonight, bring a receipt to the party and get your hands on a free pint of Dreyer’s or Haagen Daas ice cream.
